\n* DarkReprise: "Titus Andronicus Forever" at the beginning of AuthorAvatar: The protagonist in ''The Monitor'' and "...And Ever" Most Lamentable Tragedy'' is at the end.least partially based on Stickles himself.

* ConcepAblum:** ''The Moniter'' uses the American Civil War as a metaphor for the struggles of a young man in modern New Jersey.** Stickles has explained that the 5 different "acts" in ''The Most Lamentable Tragedy'' are meant to represent the different stages of manic depression.

Added DiffLines:

* StrawNihilist / TheAntiNihilist: A common thread throughout Stickles' lyrics is his own indecision between falling into nihilism completely or finding his own purpose in life.

* GeniusBonus: With song titles like "[[PieterBruegelTheElder Upon Viewing Brueghel's 'Landscape with the Fall of Icarus]]" and a concept album about the Civil War with a recommended reading list, this is a given. Patrick Stickles is a very smart, very well-read guy and it comes through in his lyrics.
